“Every individual is at once the beneficiary and the victim of the linguistic tradition into which he has been born—the beneficiary inasmuch as language gives access to the accumulated records of other people’s experience, the victim in so far as it confirms him in the belief that reduced awareness is the only awareness and as it bedevils his sense of reality, so that he is all too apt to take his concepts for data, his words for actual things.” https://library.hrmtc.com/2026/09/22/every-individual-is-at-once-the-beneficiary-and-the-victim-of-the-linguistic-tradition-into-which-he-has-been-born-the-beneficiary-inasmuch-as-language-gives-access-to-the-accumulated-record/ #access #accumulatedRecords #actualThings #aldousHuxley #bedevils #belief #beneficiary #BiographyMemoir #book #born #BuddhismGeneral #concepts #confirms #conscience #consciousness #ConsciousnessThoughtPhilosophy #data #essays #everyIndividual #experience #HallucinogeNes #HallucinogenicDrugs #Hallucinogens #HarperPerennialModernClassics #history #IndividualPhilosophers #language #LifeSciencesNeuroscience #linguisticTradition #meditations #Mescaline #MindBody #mysticism #MysticismHistory #MysticismeHistoire #nature #onlyAwareness #otherPeoples #PersonalMemoirs #Peyote #philosophy #PhilosophyBuddhist #PhilosophyIndividualPhilosophers #PHILOSOPHYMindBody #PhilosophyReligious #PhilosophyGeneral #PopularPsychologyHistory #psychology #quote #reducedAwareness #Religious #ScienceTechnology #selfHelp #senseOfReality #Spirituality #SpiritualityReligion #victim #visions #words -
📚 I just finished reading De democratie crasht. Politieke onmacht in het digitale tijdperk
by Kees VerhoevenI found a pile of these in a cupboard at work and reqd it over the weekend.. I've met Kees a few times and love his passion for government IT. His book is a compendium of all he was involved in in his political years. Sadly the book is already dated; most things are way worse now, and political decision making, including the commissie digitale zaken, are cute and not going far enough at best, laugable and downright dangerous at worst.
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5 stars)

📚 My book review of Maurits, zoon van de Zwijger
I really wanted to read a biography of the sons of William of Orange, as they are known as very innovative warlords. This book wasn't very good. The author is best known for writing musicals, a format that really doesn't work here. The made up conversations border on silly. Some historical accuracy is there. But you need to hunt for it.
